The good news is that the rain is supposed to hold off until late afternoon. The bad news is that its going to be cloudy and chilly, upper 50's in the morning, low 60's in the afternoon. Dress accordingly!
Please try to arrive a few minutes early to get all the paperwork done so we can be on our way.
Here is a link to the Registration Page.
A word about bicycle locks if you stay for lunch. We generally don't park the bikes down dark alleys on the wrong side of town :-) and I have a light steel cable and lock that will secure a large pile of bikes. The cable will defeat the best kitchen scissors, but not much else. Of course you can bring your own bike lock for insurance.
The Recreational Ride will go to the Nashua end of the rail trail and return by way of Dunstable for a visit with the alpacas, pigs, cows, Colonel Sanders, and who knows what else. There is a possible side trip to the rapids on the Nashua River if we have enough time. The route is 12.5 miles long, all on road, and pretty flat. Here is a map.
The Fitness Ride will travel up to Hollis, NH. There are some dirt roads on the way, but they are pretty smooth. The route is a bit hilly, but there are really nice views. On the way back, we will visit the rapids on the Nashua River. The route is 14 miles long with the return leg on the rail trail. Here is a map.
On Friday, September 11th, we will meet in East Pepperell Center.
- At 9:30 AM - The Recreational ride will leave for the Alpacas in Nashua. Here is a map.
